Final Thoughts

This is an excellent deal for a notoriously expensive San Francisco to Seoul route. Air Premia is quickly becoming 1 of the cheapest ways to fly from the U.S. to Asia.

While you won’t have a lie-flat seat, you will have a dedicated premium economy cabin with amenities such as enhanced meals and more legroom.
